Is there anything else that would have been helpful to include here in terms of useful stuff to know during a ?

I am starting on making a template version for next year (yes, I have a long trip home).

A more detailed version was available for those working on Infopoint with additional instructions.

What do you think should go into the "before you arrive" to section?

Another is over, and the best one I've ever experienced out of the nine I've been to.

The value and power of being surrounded by people that respect mutual aid and free sharing and dedicating everything to their passion is unmatched by anything else I see in my daily life.

Jugglers have something to teach to the world, and it's not just tossing stuff around.

station surroundings have changed a bit for those who remember previous 2012 and 2017
A new bus station is being built. Walk past it and keep going straight to get to the site

There are lifts to the platforms, but I had to use steps to get out of the underpass.

With a week to go before the European Convention in (it was supposed to be in Ireland, but no insurance company would cover us), my side project playing with to have a searchable point of answering questions is taking shape.
I have to include more answers (easier to obtain on arrival), but I can push updates from my phone!
To veterans or newbies: anything I missed?

It's that time of year again when I crowd-source for questions that the infopoint may have to face
docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d
Feel free to add questions that haven't already been included on the list. Don't worry about the other columns, they are for me to easily cross check to see if the question isn't already there (just phrased differently) or whether the question may relate to something on or off site.
You can share the link further to relevant people.

Todays video by the IJA "Juggling News January 2023" mentions that we have lost our previous venue but also uses a "Cancelled" graphic.
The Team would like to clarify that as things stand this years is not cancelled, we are in the final stages working with our new venue and getting all the paper work sorted before we make any more official announcements, but we will have more information to share very soon.

If we have enough interest we may put together some trips (with transport) to these locations during the - ideal for those wanting a little break from juggling (or any other training) during the convention.

Suggestions on interesting excursions near ( Valley, North County Dublin etc) are welcome, especially ones that may not be on the obvious tourist trail.

Even better if they are already accessible by bicycle (or unicycle) or public transport.

If you are interested in finding out more about Ireland's ancient tales (equivalent of sagas) perhaps try out @irishmythology

There are some locations close to our EJC site that play a huge part in Ireland's long history.

If you are more interested in Irish history, the @irishhistory may be of interest.

The motto of the EJC for many years has been - however our community stretches far beyond just jugglers.

The event relies on volunteers. This helps keep costs down keeping the event as accessible to as many as possible. This is also why camping is included within the week ticket price.

is not just to keep costs down, it also builds a across borders.

You can give just an hour of your time (or far more) to help the happen.

Yes, we are asking the site about cycle locking options for 1, 2 and possibly more wheeled cycles.

For those unicycle hockey folks, we have already asked about access to hockey nets that we spotted on a site visit.

Chats with a site and our special requests are often a bit odd if you have never been to a European Juggling Convention!

On our discord - see link on our profile - we have already had some people discussing travel plans to get to

If flying into Dublin Airport, Bus Éireann bus 101 will bring you almost directly to the site entrance (Gormanston Cross is the stop).

If arriving into Ireland by ferry and then trying to arrive by public transport it is trickier as it will depend on time of arrival.
transportforireland.ie/ should help - but also ask here for help!

We know that many people attending the also enjoy music and that there's a tradition of music jams happening at the EJC every year.

So we are going to start making a list of accounts that are related to traditional Irish music - especially providing tutorials or sheet music.

First one: @theirishmandolin - which even has some website updates today with new tunes.

We would love to hear suggestions for other accounts!
